I heard on the news tonight that some 24-year-old won 49.9 million dollars in a lottery. He says he's buying a new home (he's in a trailer with his wife now) and then he's going back to school! Is that not amazing? A lot of people would quit school, but he's using to go.

I would do a little of both, I would buy off my college to give me a 3.9 GP every semester!  Grin All the way to my 3rd PhD Grin

Hehe! Cheesy

Hey, who wouldn't crack open the wallet instead of books if it meant a higher GPA! Grin

Coyote- When shopping at wal-mart, will your use a million dollor bill? Grin I don't think it would be "unhumble" to shop at nicer places. You have the right to get better qualities mechandice and all. Nothing cocky or prideful about that.

she wanted. We would still shop at Wal-Mart and the dollar store. We are just to Humble to show off.

My Wife's boss asked her how we raise 3 kids on 25k a year. My wife just laughed and told her that with faith we could live on alot less. I love that woman.

Awww, I love her too!

I have quite a strong position on the matter, because my line of work pays so well that I could be a millionaire (pound millionaire which is better than dollar) by some stage in my 40's, but I have elected not to, because I don't think it's right to be rich.

Instead I give the excess to charity but I like the idea of starting up a trust fund and I know someone who could run it, too.
